She didn’t stop there but continued to write a few more.
“Upper couplet: Good luck throughout all four seasons of the year. Lower couplet: Wealth from all eight directions entering the door. Horizontal inscription: Family harmony and prosperity in all things.”
“Upper couplet: Smooth sailing with auspicious stars. Lower couplet: Everything goes well, and fortune comes to your doorstep. Horizontal inscription: Wealth comes in abundance.”
“Upper couplet: Grace the neighborhood, doors welcome spring, summer, autumn, winter’s fortune. Lower couplet: Sincerely treat worldly talents, households receive wealth from east, south, west, north. Horizontal inscription: Auspicious stars shine brightly.”
Beautiful Zhuan flower script, the rounded and squared regular script, and bold cursive—four spring couplets in three different fonts.
A professional shows her skills at a glance!
Her casually picking up the brush and writing these couplets was naturally much faster and more unrestrained than Nan Tianzong, who was customizing spring couplets for clients nearby!
Her writing immediately attracted the attention of many onlookers.
As her brush fell, she picked up a few clips without any hurry. Casually attaching the couplets to the rope behind her, she calmly sat down again.
The onlookers recited the spring couplets and were immediately stunned.
Even Nan Tianzong, who had been busy beside Liu Sisi, took a moment to look back at her in surprise.
A young man next to them suddenly exclaimed! “I remember now! She is the former female tutor of Miss Gan’s family and later was favored by Elder Madam Gan and taken in as her granddaughter, Miss Liu! No wonder she has such good literary talent!”
This remark immediately stirred up a sensation!
No wonder she writes beautifully, turns out she’s a female tutor who happens to be admired by the Gan family’s old madam…
Everyone’s eyes lit up at once!
“I want two spring couplets in this font!”
“Hurry up and give me five more! One of each type, they’re so beautiful!”
“And me! I want four more…”
In an instant, almost everyone rushed toward Liu Sisi, eager to buy her spring couplets.
Liu Sisi wore a calm expression, watch and learn!
This work she had done in her previous life, could she be stage frightened when she came here?
Immediately she waved her hand: “Queue up! Queue up and come one by one!”
The crowd quickly lined up and waited.
However, Liu Sisi sat there so long that even by noon she had not moved. When she reached back to grab more pre-cut red paper, she realized there wasn’t any left.
“Excuse me, everyone! I’ve run out of red paper. Let me cut some more in the back before continuing.”
She had been sitting there for too long, and she felt back pain and even some discomfort in her lower abdomen. She quickly used this as an excuse to leave and went into the inner room.
Di Yelei had already come down from the high place and was helping Liu Sisi. As soon as she entered, he immediately followed.
“How are you? I’ve seen you sitting there for so long without moving. Are you okay?”
There was no one else in the room, and it seemed that Elderly Mr. Di had taken the children out shopping. Liu Sisi was really tired, so she hurriedly sat down in a slanted position on the reclining chair and shook her head.
“It’s okay, just a bit tired. Today is Minor New Year, so naturally, there are more people.” While speaking, she took out the red paper to cut.
